University professor alerts city, UI of pollution in local creek BY KYLE SUMMERVILLE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
While walking through the Engineering Quad nearly one year ago, Robert Kanter, professor in the School of Earth, Society and Environment, noticed pollution in Boneyard Creek. In April, Kanter noticed the same type of pollution entering the creek through a storm drain. The persistent pollution in Boneyard Creek led Kanter to post pictures of the creek, and of the animals affected, on Facebook. Kanter said he was hoping to bring awareness of the pollution and solicit advice on how to stop it. He emailed the University’s Facilities and Services department, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the city of Champaign, which he had done without success in the past.
This time, however, Kanter said all three offices responded quickly and made efforts to get to the bottom of the issue. “We were fi rst notifi ed about it from our environmental compliance department,� said Steve Breitwieser, media communications specialist for Facilities and Services. “There’s been a strong line of communication throughout the whole process.� Breitwieser said the University worked closely with the city of Champaign to determine the source of the pollution. The city provided television cameras, which showed dye entering the storm drainage system through a broken pipe joint. The pollution in the creek came from paint that was washed down a sink in a University building. Breitwieser said the sanitary line connected to the sink

oli has always been Pratim Patil’s favorite holiday. He remembers the colorful Indian holiday as a highlight of his childhood. “Kids might look forward to Thanksgiving or Christmas,� Patil said. “For me that favorite holiday was Holi.� Patil’s favor for Holi has now transferred to his work as event coordinator for the University’s chapter of Asha, a nonprofit organization that raises funds for the education of underprivileged children in India . Asha held its annual Holi celebration Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at the Florida and Lincoln Playing Field. The event had more than 2,500 attendees and raised more than $16,000 out of the organization’s fundraising goal of $20,000, according to the event’s Facebook page. Though the largest celebration of Holi takes place in India, the holiday is celebrated around the world in many major cities and college campuses. The holiday comes from the religious story of Prahlada , who was rescued from a fi re by the Hindu god, Vishnu. Also known as the festival of colors, or festival of love, it marks the beginning of spring. Holi begins with a bonfi re the night before, followed by a day full of throwing colors — usually corn starch with color dye — and participants chasing one other with water guns. Traditionally, Holi is celebrated after the last full moon of Phalguna, the Hindu month during the end of February and beginning of March. However, Pail said Asha UIUC moved its Holi celebration to April due to the colder weather seen in Illinois this year. “It’s just a fun event that people of any religion or any denomination can attend and have fun at,� Patil said. The bridging of the social gap

He described it as a great joining force — especially in India. It’s a day when social divisions don’t matter, and everyone gets together to celebrate. The University’s chapter of Asha, which began in 1999, started hosting its own Holi celebration in 2010. Since then, Patil said the event has grown exponentially in size. He said the fi rst event had around 350 participants, but within 48 hours of launching Asha’s Facebook event page this year, 3,000 people had RSVP’d to the event. Amandeep Gargi, former president of Asha UIUC and current adviser for the organization, said he made the decision to start Holi during his presidency in 2010 because he felt “a strong need to revive� the organization. In the beginning, the main challenges were logistics and preparing for large crowds of people in a large enough space, Gargi said. “We were scared until the day of,� he said of Asha’s fi rst Holi. “In the evening when everything was fi nished, we figured out, ‘Oh, it wasn’t that bad.’ After that, our model was established.� With a ticket purchase — $12 for students and $15 for the general public at the gate — participants were able to use as many colors as they wanted. Patil said there were 1,200 pounds of color stored up for the day’s use. In recent years, Asha UIUC

To help the tornado victims in Illinois, Gov. Bruce Rauner joined the Illini Fighting Hunger and other local volunteers to package meals as a part of the University’s Community and Campus Day of Service. Sarah Zehr, director of operations at the Office of Public Engagement, said Rauner was in Champaign to help kick off National Volunteer Week. Dur-
ing the community event, Rauner worked with over 1,500 volunteers ranging from community members to students and faculty. While addressing the crowd, Rauner pointed to a van full of packaged food behind him and said the meals were going to northern Illinois to help families in Ogle and DeKalb counties who were impacted by Thursday’s tornadoes.

A Fairdale sign is torn from the ground after a tornado ripped through the north central Illinois area the night before Friday in Fairdale, Ill.
Tornadoes wreak havoc in northern Illinois BY STEVE LORD, JANELLE WALKER AND MATTHEW WALBERG TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CHICAGO—Tornadoes scoured parts of seven counties in north central Illinois, killing two women in a small town that was destroyed. The most powerful tornado that swept through the area Thursday night packed winds of 180 to 200 mph, Weather service meteorologists Mike Bardou and Gino Izzi said radar readings and reliable accounts from storm chasers indicate the initial tornado spun into a pair of twisters after the storm ripped through Rochelle and nearly wiped out the small community of Fairdale. The more powerful twister moved northeast into
Boone and McHenry counties. The smaller, “satellite” tornado traveled on a parallel path farther northwest, starting near Rockford in Winnebago County. The most severe damage was in tiny Fairdale, where two neighbors, Geraldine Schultz, 67, and Jacklyn K. Klosa, 69, were killed. The Illinois State Police reported a total of 11 people suffered injuries serious enough to be taken to area hospitals. Help came to Fairdale from Washington, the Peoria suburb that experienced similar devastation less than two years ago. In the weeks and months after the Washington tornado, people from all over the country donated to the town’s recovery. Washington resident Jewel Ward started an online
fundraiser Thursday night to help Fairdale residents. Her goal with the Fairdale Tornado Relief fund on youcaring.com was $5,000. By 7:15 p.m Friday, the fund totaled more than $6,000. While Ward’s effort was garnering contributions, Gov. Bruce Rauner visited the tornado-ravaged region, declaring DeKalb and Ogle counties state disaster areas. The state disaster declaration makes available a wide variety of state resources to help stricken areas. “Everybody’s safe, and things can be replaced,” said Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, whose own home was destroyed by the tornado. “We built once. We can rebuild.”

to meet the mission of the University.� Wise said she and counterparts from the Chicago and Springfield campuses will testify to legislature in Springfield again in May. Wise also discussed Senate Bill 1, regarding state pension cuts, and University employee benefits such as student tuition waivers. Wise said the University will do what it can to combat any decisions and continue to offer competitive packages to employees. However, Wise said it is critical to be mindful and strategic, no matter what decisions are made. “Quite honestly, the year ahead of us is going to be a most challenging one,� Adesida said. “And it will
require us to work together as equals.� Adesida said Rauner’s proposed cuts are of a “magnitude we cannot simply absorb.� Everything must be on the table when considering where to make reductions, Adesida said. However, he said the University must protect its core educational mission and instead explore University operations and new revenue options. Student Body President Mitch Dickey urged attendees to speak to legislators. “While we are talking about this, and while we are planning for the worst and hoping for the best, I think it’s really important for us to stay focused on our strategic plan, on our long term
vision, on what we must do to maintain our position of respect and impact across the nation and across the world,� Wise said. Wise said the University needs to create a new strategic plan for the next five years. The next comprehensive plan will be launched in 2017. When asked about the possibility of being censured by the American Association of University Professors, Wise said she would not conclude the censure was sure to happen and she takes it very seriously. Wise said she believes it is important to promote the strengths of the University.
will be a good idea.’� Though Holi is its largest fundraiser, Asha UIUC also raises funds through participating in marathons and running its monthly restaurant, Sambar. Once a month, the organization takes over the Red Herring restaurant in Urbana and cooks Indian food that is either exotic or not usually served in Indian restaurants. Regarding Asha, Patil said there are two parts of the equation: raising money and figuring out a responsible way to disperse that money to schools in India in a transparent way. “We have a responsibility to the donors to ensure that the money’s not going
into the wrong hands,� he said. Both Patil and Gargi said they expected this year’s Holi would bring in more people and funds than previous years. Shraddha Patil, treasurer of Asha UIUC, said Stanford University’s Holi celebration, which was extended to a two-day event due to its popularity, is an inspiration for what they would like their Holi celebration to become. Nevertheless, she said Asha UIUC’s Holi is attracting a more diverse crowd, including people of the Champaign-Urbana community, professors and even people from out of state.
“It feels great when people travel all the way to come here,� she said. Gargi said he hopes the organization will continue to raise awareness for both the cause and Indian culture in general. “There’s a huge population of people of Indian origin here who were brought up in America and haven’t experienced the big Holi,� Patil said. “A lot of people in the past have told us thanks a lot for organizing this; we’ve only seen this in the movies. That’s a great feeling as well, to give them this opportunity to enjoy a slice of India.�
Breitwieser said the work is expected to continue into next week. “This is an example of things working exactly as you would want them to,� Kanter said. “A person notices something wrong, contacts an agency with the power to do something about it, and the agency does something about it.� The 10th annual Boneyard Creek Community Day will be held on April 18 at Scott Park in Champaign. Breitwieser said the event is held to remove trash, pollution and to generally protect the creek through community action. “Public awareness is important,� Breitwieser said. “The more people are aware, the better we can protect places like Boneyard Creek.� Although he is hapzation that hosts meal-packaging events throughout the state of Illinois, was founded three years ago by Greg Damhorst to address hunger issues and make meal packaging events more effective through student leadership. “On Tuesday we’re celebrating 1 million meals that we packaged since we started,� Damhorst said. “Today, we are at about 1.25 million total since we’ve started the organization.� Rauner’s visit was originally part of his Illinois

Pope acknowledges Armenian Genocide, Turkey denies it VATICAN CITY— Armenians were the victims of “the first genocide of the 20th century,� Pope Francis said Sunday, prompting Turkey to recall its Vatican ambassador home to Ankara. Similar remarks from the Catholic leadership in the past have triggered protests from Turkey, which denies that the mass deportation of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I was genocide. Armenians say as many as 1.5 million people were killed. “In the past century, our human family has lived through three massive and unprecedented tragedies,�
Francis said at the start of a remembrance mass in St. Peter’s Basilica for the 1915-16 mass slaughter of the Armenians. “The first, which is widely considered the first genocide of the 20th century, struck your own Armenian people, the first Christian nation, as well as Catholic and Orthodox Syrians, Assyrians, Chaldeans and Greeks,� Francis said. The pope said the other two genocides of the last century “were perpetrated by Nazism and Stalinism� and went on to say the world is in the midst of another genocide, the persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
Skirmish at insecure border raises death toll in Saudi Arabia JIZAN, Saudi Arabia — From their post on a rocky hilltop, two Saudi border guards man a .50-caliber machine gun and use binoculars to scan the dry scrubland that separates this kingdom from its wartorn neighbor to the south, Yemen. The scene before them appeared peaceful on Friday: The craggy peaks that rise beyond a riverbed were spotted with goats, cows and families of baboons. But later that day, mortar rounds fired into Saudi territory from Yemen killing three soldiers and injuring two others stationed along the frontier, state media reported over the weekend.
It was the latest in a series of border skirmishes that have killed six of the kingdom’s troops since a Saudi-led coalition began airstrikes March 25 against rebels known as the Houthis who have seized large parts of Yemen. The Saudi Defense Ministry said that its forces returned fire, and that 500 Houthi fighters have been killed in the clashes. “Our border is a red line,� said Lt. Col. Hamed Alahmari, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry guards who patrol the highly porous frontier that stretches about 1,000 miles through mountains and desert.
BEIJING — The Chinese Communist Party operates out of a vast walledoff compound, known as Zhongnanhai, near Beijing’s Forbidden City. It is here that party leaders oversee the Great Firewall — China’s 24-hour control and censorship of the Internet. Some 5,900 miles away, in a cottage in Berkeley, Calif., the staff of China Digital Times tries to poke holes in the Great Firewall. Every day, they collect, translate and publish many of the censorship directives the party sends to state media. They aggregate breaking news deemed “sensitive� by China’s rulers and highlight the code words Chinese people invent to get around the censors. “There is no way you could take all these critical voices and party directives and put them together on one website in China. It
would be taken down immediately,� said Xiao Qiang, chief editor of China Digital Times and an adjunct professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “But outside the Great Firewall you can do that. And that is what we do.� Since Xiao founded China Digital Times in 2003, it has become a go-to site for English speakers wanting to keep up with China’s Internet and its 640 million “netizens.� But China Digital Times doesn’t cater only to English speakers. After China blocked access to the site in 2006, Xiao made plans for a Chinese-language site, which he launched in 2011. China blocked that site as well, but Xiao said his team uses a variety of methods to make China Digital Times accessible in China. These include email lists, social media and “mirror sites� that can’t easily be blocked.

An open letter to UI’s new PR firm At the University’s annual town hall meeting, Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced that Edelman, a public relations firm, was hired to represent the University. Wise said the University needs to decide what its distinctive ideas are and how the school wants to be seen in the future. The Daily Illini Editorial board wrote a letter to Edelman as to how they could achieve this.
F
irst off, congratulations on the new gig. Between the Steven Salaita controversy, anger over lack of snow days, budget cuts and fewer applications coming in, the University has been making its fair share of headlines. Because of these things, there are professors who do not want to be here. Experts are canceling talks and lectures to support academic freedom. Despite a told emphasis on diversity, minority students still report being faced with microaggressions throughout campus. As the University faces censure from the American Association of University Professors and must fight for funding, you have your work cut out for you. But, as a large public relations firm, you have probably seen worse problems than the University’s. In an effort to make this a transparent and welcoming school, we hope you will hold the University accountable for its actions while still moving it forward. Although it’s your job to make the University look good, we hope that you are upfront and honest about the University and its decisions. In whatever controversy comes next (it will inevitably come; it’s part of life at a large public university), we hope that you stick to the idea that the truth is the best defense. Do not cover up controversies. Face them head on and move our school past them, because the University needs to be known as (and needs to be) an honest, welcoming environment. We still host awardwinning faculty and just hired a new president, Timothy Killeen, and we need diverse students to bolster the talent we already have. Representing our university as a welcoming environment, and holding this institution to that standard, will continue to attract the best minds in research and teaching and will reinvigorate students’ desire to attend this school. Whether the issue is academic freedom or microaggressions, solving it will make the University attractive to more diverse minds and spur more open and productive conversations. These conversations could create not only technological but social change, that would impact not only our campus but the world around us. Transparency and diversity should be our image, but it should also be our reality. We hope you can give it a try.
The cases for and against attending law school MATT SILICH
THOMAS DOWLING
Opinions columnist

Lawyering is a revered profession, but many students are discovering that the process of becoming a lawyer is more taxing than expected. In 2014, just 37,924 students enrolled in their first year of law school. That is the lowest quantity of new law students since at least 1973, and a 27.7 percent decline from 2010. The recent reluctance of college graduates to enter law school should give pause to prospective undergraduate students who have decided to head down that track or are considering it. There are a few reasons to consider a different career than law school, but chief among those is the large financial commitment that enrolling in three years of law school requires. The median cost of attending one year of law school, for both public and private universities, is roughly $40,000. Law school typically spans three years, so students have to pay around $120,000 before accounting for living arrangements, textbooks and casual spending. As a result, debt is a serious problem for law school graduates. For all students who graduated law school with debt in 2014, the median amount owed was about $100,000. In fact, the problem has gotten so bad that some schools are cutting tuition costs in an attempt to increase applications. Brooklyn Law School, for example, is cutting tuition by 15 percent in 2015 and instituting course planning that would allow some students to graduate in just two years. Given the great cost of pursuing a career in law, it’s puzzling that some undergraduate students seem to look at law school as the only logical next step once a bachelor’s degree is earned. Plus, undergraduate students often fail to even acknowledge other career paths. Even worse, many see law school as a back-up plan and believe it is an easy way to get a high-paying job. Many students don’t realize that job prospects in the field can be scarce. Major law firms tend to hire the majority of their graduates from elite law schools, which leaves many potential lawyers hung out to dry. Only 57 percent of 2013 law school graduates had long-term, full-time lawyering positions in 2014. That’s quite a low rate for a field where a hefty salary is often believed to be a sure thing. There are hundreds of different ways to explore alternatives to law school during one’s undergraduate years. One could even work as a paralegal to help mitigate finances and reinforce the decision of whether to attend law school. Law school is expensive and may not be as lucrative as some students believe. Considering other post-graduation options before assuming law school is the right choice, as thoroughly investigating other options is necessary for such a misunderstood field.
Sometimes it feels like I have discovered a new social convention. When adults back at home ask me the inevitable question, “So what do you want to when you graduate?� and I reply, “I plan on attending law school,� I always get the same skeptical stare. My adviser here even spent fifteen minutes trying to talk me out of law school during our first meeting. People have lost faith in the legal profession. While it may seem like an unpredictable profession, don’t be so quick to dismiss the option if you’re considering it. For many, law school isn’t just a good choice, but it’s the best choice. For students who have the grades to make it at top law schools, there is no profession that offers the same level of compensation immediately after graduation. According to Forbes, every single toptier law school’s graduates make an average salary of $160,000, except The University of Virginia whose average is $117,500. The University of Illinois College of Law is ranked 41st in the nation, but its average graduate still makes $79,500 a year. Many of these schools also boast an employmentat-graduation-rate of 90 percent, which outstrips most typical college graduates. More and more standard college graduates can’t find work or are getting jobs they are overqualified for. A solid law school can ensure that you do not need to worry about abysmal job prospects. Rebecca Ray, the assistant dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Illinois College of Law agrees. Although she does think that students need to do their research before making the decision, “a law degree opens doors to many successful, fulfilling careers and has been shown to have a strong return on investment over the course of a career, despite recent downturns in the market.� Although Ray points out the well known dip in legal job prospects, this might actually make law school a more attractive choice. The legal market declined during the recession, preventing many students from enrolling. This ultimately resulted in a 23 percent decrease in law school graduates. As the economy continues to improve, so will the demand for legal jobs. The decline in law degrees on the market will make it even more likely that a law school grad will find employment. Bearing that in mind, now might actually be the best time to enter the legal market. The verdict is in: Consider your options and know what you are getting into. If being an attorney sounds like a fulfilling career choice and you have the ability to go to a law school you are confident in, don’t let the naysayers dissuade you.

Getting over the oversharing trend SAM PULLING Opinions columnist
I
am an avid social media user. I have no shame (okay, a little shame) in admitting that the first thing I do every morning is check the trifecta: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. More often than not, I sit and see what the people in my life are up to. I post pictures when I take good ones and tweet when I’m feeling particularly funny, but usually, I just scroll. While I scroll, I always seem to see that one person posting constantly about the most recent drama in their life and therefore they earn the title of the oversharer. Break-ups, fights and all opinions the oversharer has ever had are documented for everyone to see, and I really think it’s time for the oversharing to end. A couple of days ago, I took to the Quad to see how my fellow Illini felt about oversharing on social media.
Eric Bultman, senior in LAS, said he thinks oversharing is obnoxious. “(Oversharers) need you to know; they want the feedback,� Bultman said. “They should keep it to themselves. If it gets excessive and it’s someone I’m not really close friends with, I will unfollow them.� Oversharing is really just that. It is literally over sharing details. It is too much information. It is things that I don’t need to know and really don’t want to know. Not everyone on your friends list needs to know your boyfriend cheated on you, that you got in a fight with your dad and that you failed your midterm. Feel free to post dozens of funny cat videos, but keep your drama to yourself. Knowing every detail of an oversharer’s life isn’t just unnecessary, it’s uncomfortable. Often, these people share more information than I know about some of my friends. So, let’s make a new rule: If you wouldn’t share it with a stranger on the street, please don’t post it on Facebook. “I don’t like sharing a lot
of my information,� said Jeanette Bustamante, senior in AHS. “It’s personal.� Bria Simmons, senior in Business, agrees and said she encounters this situation in her everyday life. “I put pictures from vacation ... but nothing about my man. I’ve got family members, moreso, (that overshare),� Simmons said. “I feel like they overshare, especially about family relationships.� As people share more and more events and details about their lives, problems can increase. Several studies have shown that oversharing can negatively impact real life relationships. A University of Michigan study strongly linked oversharing on social media to higher levels of narcissism. Jealousy and annoyance can build up and cause more than a virtual unfriending. Not only is oversharing on social media annoying, but it can also have serious repercussions that extend beyond relationships. According to a study from Action Fraud, 88 percent of social media users share information that could aid
in identity theft. Oversharers are unknowingly handing over valuable information to thieves. The more information they have about you, the more they have to back up their fake identities, and in the words of Dwight Shrute, “Identity theft is not a joke.� Posting about every second of your day can also get you into trouble at work. Venting about work in a Facebook message or posting an Instagram with friends while you’re supposed to be out sick can come back to your boss. In February, a senior Maryland state corrections official was fired after making an inappropriate joke on Facebook about prison guards; his oversharing cost him his job. As much as you might think that I care, I don’t need to know what you had for breakfast or that you served it to your girlfriend in bed. In fact, people like me may start to pull away from oversharers online and in-person. Let’s band together and put an end to oversharing.

Controversy over TB testing in elephants BY SANDI DOUGHTON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SEATTLE – When communities debate what’s best for elephants — zoos or sanctuaries – one subject is almost certain to come up: tuberculosis. From Toronto to Dallas to Topeka, representatives from zoos as well as zoo industry groups have warned against sending animals to sanctuaries, which they portray as hotbeds of the disease. When officials at Woodland Park Zoo decided to send Seattle’s aging females, Chai and Bamboo, to the Oklahoma City Zoo instead of a sanctuary, TB was one of the reasons cited. The country’s two elephant sanctuaries have, indeed, taken in several animals with confirmed or suspected cases of the disease. But TB is by no means exclusive to sanctuaries. Tuberculosis has cropped up in zoos from San Francisco to St. Louis. But while sanctuaries were quick to embrace the most stringent testing, quarantine and treatment regimes, many zoos — including Woodland Park — fought guidelines that several experts say could slow the spread of the disease and lower the risk to elephants and the public. “I’m not sure everybody involved with elephants is truly vested in eliminating the disease and protecting elephants from infection,� said Dr. Chuck Massengill, former director of the animal health laboratory at the Missouri Department of Agriculture and a contributor to the new guidelines. Developed under the auspices of the independent U.S. Animal Health Association, the guidelines emphasize the use of blood tests to detect signs of infection before fullblown disease develops. In some cases, the guidelines would prevent zoos or circuses from transferring
suspect animals around the country — a provision that drew furious opposition. Woodland Park Zoo joined other zoos and zoo associations in challenging the validity of blood tests and arguing the rules would raise costs and unfairly restrict movement of animals. Zoos also downplayed the severity of the problem. The guidelines have not been adopted, though an agency spokeswoman said they are still under consideration. An older version remains in use. But the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) sanctuary in California, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee and some zoos opted to voluntarily adhere to the tougher rules. Reports of TB-like symptoms in captive Asian elephants date back 2,000 years, but the disease does not afflict wild herds. All indications point to humans as the original source. Elephants can infect each other, as can elephants and humans. The common practice of transferring elephants between zoos, circuses and performing troupes is believed to be a major factor in spreading TB. Staff who work closely with elephants are at risk, but the threat to zoo or circus visitors is extremely low, said Dr. Joel Maslow, a TB expert who investigated early outbreaks and worked on the guidelines. Just as in humans, TB in elephants can be devilishly difficult to diagnose. The standard method is called trunk wash. Elephants are trained to suck up saline solution with their trunks and spit it back into a plastic bag. Trunk wash is called the gold-standard test because a positive result is proof of active TB. But a negative test is far from a clean bill of health. The method can only confirm TB if an elephant is
giving off bacteria – something that only occurs intermittently during the chronic disease. During an outbreak at a Swedish Zoo, just seven samples out of 189 tested positive, though all the elephants involved had TB. “Trunk washes are just totally unreliable unless the elephant is shedding the day you do the trunk wash,� said Walter Cook of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, who oversees tuberculosis control at The Elephant Sanctuary. Blood tests can spot signs of infection earlier and with greater sensitivity, allowing quicker treatment and quarantine, explained Dr. Mo Salman, a veterinary epidemiologist at Colorado State University who did much of the early research. The immune system usually keeps the bacterium in check, but rarely eliminates it from the body. It lurks in a state called latent infection. A person — or elephant — with latent infection isn’t sick or infectious. But if the immune system is weakened by stress or disease, the disease can break out quickly. No one knows what percentage of TB-exposed elephants will develop active disease. Dr. Susan Mikota, the leading authority on elephant TB, says zoo and circus animals may be particularly vulnerable due to the stress of captivity. One study of 16 elephants found warning signs in the animals’ blood months to years before the disease was diagnosed with trunk wash. But zoos and circuses argued that the evidence of the tests’ effectiveness isn’t good enough to justify additional treatment and testing. Curing TB in an elephant can take 18 months and cost $50,000. Alternative guidelines recently drafted by an industry-dominated task force say blood tests should not be used at all for regulatory purposes.

Apple Watch makes debut BY JULIA LOVE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Apple tried to discourage fans from lining up outside its retail stores as its first entirely new product since the iPad debuted Friday, but a handful of shoppers still arrived early to check out the Apple Watch as supplies dwindled online. Mac Choudry, a 37-yearold San Jose resident, was the first customer waiting outside an Apple Store in San Jose, where Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s retail chief, is expected to greet customers. Choudry arrived at 8 a.m. to secure his spot, and he was joined by just a few other customers half an hour before doors opened at 10 a.m. — a far cry from the hundreds of people that greeted the launch of the iPhone 6 in September. A longtime lover of Apple products, Choudry said he was determined to be the first to try on the Apple Watch. “This is a very innovative
piece of technology,� said Choudry. Friday was the first day Apple customers throughout the U.S. and in eight other countries could try out the smartwatch in the company’s retail stores. In a break from Apple’s previous product launches, however, orders for the watch are being taken exclusively online during the “initial launch period.� Preorders began online at 12:01 a.m. Pacific time Friday, with the gadget shipping as early as April 24, but online shoppers were being told it would be four to six weeks for some versions of the device early Friday morning. Choudry pre-ordered nine Apple Watches — one for himself, one for his wife, and a handful for family and friends — minutes after they went on sale. But the gadgets will not ship until April 24, and Choudry was impatient to try them out, so he reported to the Apple Store bright and early. He was joined outside the store by software engi-
neer Dino Farinacci, another devout Apple fan who has been buying the tech giant’s products for 20 years. Like Choudry, he pre-ordered the watch in the wee hours of Friday morning, settling on a space gray watch in the “sport� collection, which starts at $349. “I’m probably going to upgrade next year,� said Farinacci, a 55-year-old San Jose resident. In a statement Thursday detailing the online-only purchases, Ahrendts suggested the process will help Apple balance supply to demand for the device, which comes in two sizes and three collections, with a range of interchangeable bands. The watch’s arrival in stores marks a new chapter for Apple as it releases its first new product since the iPad in 2010. Apple has touted the gadget’s health and fitness tracking, communication tricks and style appeal. The watch starts at $349 and fetches as much as $17,000 for solid gold models.

A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE
Top, bottom left: Hissy, one of the Smith family’s adopted cats, wanders outside the shed at the Smith’s home on Thursday. Right: Leslie Smith, professor at Parkland College, prepares for an interview as she holds Hissy.
BY LILLIAN BARKLEY STAFF WRITER
H
issy, a gray-and-orange-striped cat with a white bib and fluffy fur, burrows into thick blankets stacked on a china hutch inside the Smith family’s garage. Somewhere in the building, hiding under old children’s toys or behind storage boxes, their other cat, Hidey, is being true to his name. The two cats live inside the garage year-round. While the living situation may not seem luxurious, the pets wouldn’t have a home otherwise. They were given this home by the “Country Cats� program, which was founded in the Urbana area last summer to give cats with behavioral issues new homes by placing them in barns. Since July, they have relocated 98 cats. “It provides an opportunity for cats who wouldn’t get adopted in shelters to have a second chance,� said Teri Kidd, Shelter Medicine intern for the University’s veterinary medicine program. Kate McGinley, shelter manager at the Champaign County Humane Society, a group of what she calls “cat people,� including members of CatSnap, Animal Control and the humane society, came up with the idea when they met last summer to brainstorm a solution for the unadoptable, healthy cats. “We came up with the name ‘Country Cats’ and it just sort of took off from there,� she said. Cats qualify for this program if they are feral or have aggression
or urination issues. If it were not for this program, the cats would be euthanized because they cannot be adopted, McGinley said. “Despite what people think, people at shelters never get hardened to euthanasia,� she said. “It’s really wonderful to have an option.� McGinley has adopted a cat for her horse stable, and said that even though he was front-declawed, he has no problem catching mice and fending for himself. Leslie Smith, Hissy and Hidey’s adopter and a professor at Parkland College, said pest control was one of the benefits of barn cats. “They’ve caught a lot of mice, and it’s just been fun to have another pet that you don’t have to take care of that much,� she said. “You feed them, you give them water, and you don’t have to have a litter box because they go outside.� Smith learned about Country Cats from a friend who posted on Facebook. Her family adopted three cats, but one ran away. Her father adopted two cats for his land, and a family friend adopted five. Kidd said placing 10 cats from just one contact was one of their success stories. When someone is interested in adopting a cat, they call Country Cats or the Champaign County Humane Society and are put on a waiting list. Currently, there is a waiting list for 10 cats, Kidd said. She added that while the program always welcomes donations, their primary need is finding homes for the cats. According to the Country Cats

website, the program works with shelters and clinics in Champaign, Coles County, Farmtown, Paxton, Macon County and Vermilion County. “I don’t think we have hit a limit yet,� McGinley said in regards to how far away they will send a cat. She said it “depends on how far someone’s willing to drive.� The cats are free to a good barn, and Country Cats provides medical attention and basic supplies, Kidd said. This includes spaying or neutering, vaccinating, deworming and cleaning any other wounds. “We’d never send somebody out there that needs medical attention,� Kidd said. Once the cat is sterilized, a small green line is tattooed next to the scar so a future veterinarian will not operate again. For two weeks, the cats must be confined in large cages, so they can familiarize themselves with their new surroundings. “Cats are very adaptable,� Kidd said. “Until they realize, ‘this is where my food is, this is where my shelter is,’ if you just release them, they’re very likely to just run off.� A student volunteer takes the cat to its new home, along with a cage, a bag of food and litter, bowls and a litter box if the adopter needs it. The program works with the Illinois Student Chapter of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and hires students as coordinators, Kidd said.

the students involved with “Country Cats.� Poyer is a member of ISCASV and said she was drawn to Country Cats due to her passion for helping homeless animals. “It really bothered me that perfectly healthy cats were being euthanized for things they couldn’t help or the owners just didn’t want to deal with,� she said. One of her inspirations for working with the program was Julius, an orange tomcat and inappropriate urinator who was deemed unfit to be a housecat. Poyer said she wanted to help cats like him, as well as cats who do not work well in shelters. “If someone tried to touch me when I was scared, I’d probably run away and hiss too,� she said. Cats who are scared in the unfamiliar shelter environment will become aggressive or skittish, which deters people from adopting them, according to McGinley. The cats that are relinquished to the shelter for these reasons “often make the best barn cats,� she said. “It just seems unfair for a cat who’s just trying to look out for itself to not have a chance at a home,� Poyer said. “Country Cats gives them a chance.�

Baseball streak grows to nine BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
The Illinois baseball team demonstrated why it is ranked highly in so many college polls in two games against Purdue over the weekend. With a strong offensive performance Saturday and shutdown pitching Sunday, the Illini (28-61, 7-1 Big Ten) won the first two games of a three-game series against Purdue (11-23, 1-7), bringing their winning streak to nine games. “Once we get those first two (games), we put ourselves into a good position, which is always the goal,� said second baseman Reid Roper. “We just need to capitalize (on Monday) because at the end of the year it could come down to one game.� The Illini scored seven runs on three home runs during Saturday’s game. The rout began in the first inning when Purdue starting pitcher Shane Bryant walked shortstop and leadoff hitter Adam Walton. Roper scored Walton from third on a flyout after Ryan Nagle singled to put runners on the corners. Outfielder Casey Fletcher drove in Nagle from third after a Jason Goldstein single and outfielder Pat McInerney blasted a home run over the left-center wall, giving Illi-

Softball sweeps Terrapins in Maryland trip BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team left for College Park, Maryland, on Thursday tied for sixth place in the Big Ten with the Terrapins, both sporting a 5-4 record in conference play. However, after the weekend series concluded Sunday, the Illini cemented their place in the upper half of the Big Ten standing. “We wanted to welcome them to the Big Ten and show them what it’s like to face heightened competition,� said freshman outfielder Carly Thomas.
In its first-ever trip to Maryland, and just the fifth time ever facing the East Coast opponent, Illinois (1821, 8-4) swept the threegame road series against the Terrapins (23-19, 5-7), giving the Illini their third-straight Big Ten series win. Illinois’ Sunday victory was the team’s ninth win in their last 10 games. Friday’s matchup had the makings of a pitcher’s duel through the first four innings — Thomas’ solo home run in the top of the second inning was the only offensive production by either team. The
Illini offense finally got on track in the fifth inning, scoring six runs in the final three innings. Thomas once again led the charge: She went 3-for-4 and finished the game just a triple shy of the cycle to help the Illini secure a 7-3 victory. Illini pitcher Jade Vecvanags put together a strong outing in the circle Friday, allowing just two earned runs on eight hits and three walks in a complete game. The performance was good enough for her eighth win in her last nine games pitched. “Jade has taken most of
the pitching burden all season, but she continues to look strong,� said head coach Terri Sullivan. “She’s the type of player that wants the ball in her hands no matter what the situation.� Saturday’s back-and-forth battle featured clutch performances from both familiar and relatively unseen Illini.

Two of the team’s freshman phenoms were key to a 4-0 Illini victory, but one of the day’s honorees clinched the victory.

Illini tennis win on the road BY JONATHAN JOFFE STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s tennis team won both of its road matches this weekend, proving that the team can sustain success away from its home court. Illinois moved to 12-9 on the season after defeating Wisconsin 5-2 on Friday and Minnesota 5-2 on Sunday. Despite a win in doubles on court one from the tandem of senior Melissa Kopinski and sophomore Louise Kwong, Illinois lost the doubles point on Friday to the Badgers after falling on the second and third doubles courts. Sophomores Madie Baillon and Jerricka Boone were defeated 8-6 on court two, while sophomore Alexis Casati and freshman Grace Tapak fell on court three by the same score. It was the captain, Kopinski, who took her success from the doubles point and erased the momentum gained by Wisconsin. Kopinski won her singles match at the No. 2 spot against Maria Avgerinos in straight sets 6-2, 6-3. Boone picked up a win at the No. 4 spot over Wisconsin’s Lauren Burich to put the Illini up 2-1 in the match before the Badgers tied it up after Casati fell in a 3-6, 1-6 decision. A win from Baillon in three sets was followed by a match-clinching win on court No. 6 from Tapak. The freshman claimed her first Big Ten victory in the 6-3, 7-6 (7-3 tie-breaker), 6-3 decision. The Minnesota match Sunday began similarly for Illinois, as the Illini lost the doubles point to the Golden Gophers. Nevertheless, Illinois bounced back in singles, claiming the first set on each of the top three courts and winning the top five matches.

Illinois’ Madie Baillon returns the ball during the game against Maryland on April 4. At the conclusion of the weekend, head coach Michelle Dasso was happy with her team’s performance. “My feeling is one of respect for my team’s competitive will to win they have shown us lately,” Dasso said. “The doubles performance, aside from No. 1 doubles this weekend, was disappointing and rough, but the girls kept their composure and rebounded with high energy and a ‘we will not lose’ attitude in singles play.” Kopinski said that the wins did not come easy and that her teammates focused intensely throughout both matches despite losing the doubles point on Friday and Sunday. While any type of win is appreciated, road victories are more rewarding in Kopinski’s eyes. “It is very satisfying to get Big Ten wins, especially on the road,” Kopinski said. “There’s always a lot of
adversity that comes along our way, and I’m proud of the fight the team brought.” Kwong was satisfied to see the success continue for the Illini. She credited trust and a unified understanding between her teammates to the team’s current run. The recent wins have brought upon an increase in confidence and expectation for Illinois.
“When we lost the doubles point, the only thing going through my head was that we weren’t going to lose to Minnesota,” Kwong said. “Each and every one of us focused on our own court and had a goal to stay out there and earn the W.”
said of not making the team finals. “But as a freshman I feel like it’s more so of a learning experience.” Maestas, who is choosing to graduate in May instead of applying for another year of eligibility, took home four All-American honors on still rings (second), floor exercise (fifth), all-around (second) and on high bars, where he won the national title. Before his rou-
tines, assistant coach Ivan Ivankov helped keep Maestas motivated. “Ivan kept giving me hugs before I (competed) and whispered in my ear to lay it all on the table,” Maestas said. “My gymnastics reignited with that. I’m so proud to go out the way I went out.” This marks the secondstraight year that an Illinois gymnast won the national
high bar title — Valdez won the honor last season — and the fifth-straight year Illinois has had at least one national champion. Junior Logan Bradley was named All-American on pommel horse for his sixthplace finish with a score of 13.950. Senior Mike Wilner was named All-American on still rings for finishing seventh (15.550).

Freshman Leigh Farina came off the bench to finish the game and turned out to be the X-factor for the Illini, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and the gametying RBI in the sixth inning. After tying the game at seven, Illinois never looked back and clinched the series with a 14-8 victory. “It was the best teamwin we’ve had this season,” Evans said. “We’re a complete team. Our chemistry is at an all-time high.” On Sunday, the Illini’s early offensive burst was enough to hold off the Terrapins for the series swept. The first four batters in peted in the finals on still rings but finished outside the top eight (10th), which meant he did not earn AllAmerican honors. The team result is seen as an obvious disappointment for Illinois, who had a 10-0 start to the season. Spring said that a lack of competitive spirit was the biggest factor that resulted in Illinois finishing out of the top six. Regardless of the
The Illini’s recent doubles success is a stark contrast to their troubles earlier in the season. Head coach Brad Dancer said the Illini’s doubles results have been much improved since restructuring the pairs. “The chemistry’s been great with the teams and the execution can still get a lot better,” Dancer said. “Anytime you’re gelling out there, it’s a good thing.” While it was Senior Day for the Illini, it’s far from their last competition at home. Illinois will return to Urbana for the Big Ten Tournament in two weeks. With regular season concluding next weekend, the Illini senior class has the opportunity to leave their mark on the program. “It’s a special group,” Dancer said, “They wanted to create their own legacy. They’re certainly going to do that as they come down the home stretch here and finish the season.”

Thomas’ first-inning RBI double tied the Illini record (six) for most doubles in conference play. Senior catcher Jess Perkins lit up the scoreboard once more for Illinois with a solo shot to right-center, putting the Illini up 5-1 after three innings. Vecvanags held off a late Terrapin surge to give Illinois the 5-4 win and the series sweep. “Having team players like this is a coach’s dream,” Sullivan said. “They stayed committed for the whole game, every game, and when you have first and second-year players having performances like this, that tells you the direction of our program.”
